About La Jolla Vein Care

At La Jolla Vein Care, we feel that vein conditions deserve specialized care. That is why our facility is only one of a few dedicated vein treatment centers in San Diego and Southern California with board-certified physicians and staff trained specifically in the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. We also conveniently provide our own on-site vascular ultrasound imaging. We offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options.

La Jolla Vein Care is the only dedicated vein center in San Diego that is accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). IAC accreditation is a “seal of approval” that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of Vascular Testing and as a Vein Center.

You Have Options.
La Jolla Vein Care is the leader in non-surgical treatments in Southern California. By offering a variety of treatment options, we can tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs, rather than being limited to what we have available. There are several treatment options depending on the type of veins, extent of disease, your ultrasound findings and other factors.

For the treatment of varicose veins and its underlying cause, venous reflux disease we offer:

Endovenous ablation procedures
